Arsenal: Location and Local Orientation
Arsenal Underground station is recorded by TfL at Arsenal Station, Highbury Hill, London, N5 1LP. Use Highbury Hill and postcode N5 1LP to anchor your taxi or cab enquiry rather than a broad neighbourhood name. Its Underground fare-zone reference is 2; a Tube fare zone does not set the price of a taxi or minicab.
The closest other Underground station positions in this directory are Finsbury Park (0.61 km), Holloway Road (0.77 km), and Caledonian Road (1.36 km). Those figures are straight-line distances calculated from TfL coordinates, not walking routes, station interchanges or journey-time estimates.
The published station postcode falls in the Islington local-authority area (Arsenal ward). These postcode boundaries are administrative references; use your actual street destination when arranging a minicab.
Named Places Around Arsenal
Named green-space landmarks around Arsenal include Gillespie Park (public park or garden, approximately 0.06 km to the mapped boundary); Michael Sobell Sports Centre (other sports facility, approximately 0.26 km to the mapped boundary); Olden Community Garden (public park or garden, approximately 0.72 km to the mapped boundary). These are straight-line distances derived from the TfL station position and Ordnance Survey’s April 2026 mapped site polygons. A boundary can be much closer than a usable entrance: these figures do not describe walking routes, road access or a place for a driver to wait.
If your journey ends at Gillespie Park, give its own entrance or street address when booking. A taxi booking for the Underground station identifies a different destination from the surrounding park, grounds or sports site. Confirm visitor arrangements with the site before travelling.

Emirates Stadium and the Arsenal Station Area
Arsenal FC identifies Arsenal station as one of the stations serving Emirates Stadium, alongside Finsbury Park and Highbury & Islington. Matchday traffic controls and managed pedestrian queues make a stadium collection a different request from an ordinary station pick-up. Give the event and your intended meeting point when asking about a cab.
Tube Connections at Arsenal

Luggage, Access and Your Minicab Meeting Point
Use the current TfL station guide to check the access route that suits your party. This station’s captured record does not provide a sufficiently clear facility summary to infer a complete step-free route. Avoid treating a map pin as proof that a car can reach the exact entrance you will use.
For a minicab at Arsenal, give your actual entrance or nearby address, arrival line and luggage count. Agree a permitted road meeting place; the station address and photograph are location references, not waiting instructions.
Airport Taxi Planning from Arsenal
Arsenal is on the Piccadilly network, whose TfL route map includes Heathrow branches as well as other destinations. That makes terminal and branch selection important if you compare Tube travel with an airport taxi. For a cab request instead, provide the exact airport, terminal, flight details and whether this is a collection or departure journey; do not infer a car fare from a Tube route.
